We contracted with them for repairs to our old house: to clean and concrete extensive cracked basement floor areas and an earth floor basement room, to seal and paint the basement walls and floor, and to do some drywall and formica work upstairs. All work was done in an amazing week and a half, very well and very economically. Our basement is better than new. -- Hans Moravec CMU Robotics Here is their ad, as posted on cmu.misc.market in December 1994: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >From: Scott Leslie Francisco >Newsgroups: cmu.misc.market,pgh.forsale,pgh.general >Subject: Student Remodelling and Design >Date: Sat, 31 Dec 1994 13:15:57 -0500 >Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Planning to make repairs or additions to your Pittsburgh area home or apartments?
